Former “Roseanne” showrunner Whitney Cummings doesn’t want to see a spinoff of the canceled series if it means more money in Roseanne Barr’s pocket.

Cummings – who left the show less than two weeks before Barr’s hate-filled Twitter tirade led to its cancellation – says she’s “heartbroken” by what’s transpired.

“I’m just trying to heal from the whole thing and make sense of it all,” she told TMZ. “I was just as horrified as everybody else and really heartbroken about it so I’m just trying to put the pieces together.”

Cummings announced in mid-May that she would not be returning to “Roseanne” due to “work commitments and my tour schedule.” The stand-up comedian spent one season as a co-showrunner for “Roseanne” alongside Bruce Helford.

ABC canceled the series later that month after Barr posted a racist tweet calling former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett the baby of “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes” while calling investor George Soros “a nazi” in another post.

Rumors have since circulated about a possible “Roseanne” spinoff without Barr that would star other members of cast such as John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf. Cummings, however, has some reservations.

“I don’t really have words at the moment, but maybe they can salvage the legacy in some way. But if it benefits her financially … it’s a bad move,” Cummings told TMZ.

Barr has a financial stake in “Roseanne” since she co-created the series and could potentially prevent a spinoff from happening if she isn’t compensated, according to TMZ.

When asked if she saw “the writing on the wall” when it came to working with Barr, Cummings paused for a while before responding, “I don’t even know what to say.”

She didn’t seem inclined to work on a spinoff if it ever happened, noting in part that she has too many other commitments.

“I have too many grey hairs from this whole experience,” she said.

Cummings is the latest person connected to “Roseanne” to express their disappointment over the situation. Sara Gilbert, who played Barr’s daughter on the show, has condemned her longtime co-star’s social medial spiral multiple times, including last week when she said she supported ABC’s cancellation of the program.

“A lot of people have been hurt by this. I will say, I’m proud of the show we made,” Gilbert said on her show “The Talk.” “The show has always been about diversity, love and inclusion, and it’s sad to see it end in this way. I’m sad for the people who lost their jobs in the process. However, I do stand behind the decision that ABC made.”

Fellow cast member Michael Fishman, meanwhile, slammed Barr for her comments shortly after the show was canceled.

“The words of one person do not exemplify the thinking of all involved,” he said in a statement.
